Vilnius #65

Vilnius is a romantic city all the way. With it's narrow cobbled streets and an abundance ofbaroque architecture, reminiscent of a beautiful Latin America city, it is sure to throwback the adventurous lonely traveleri in time as well as enamor couples looking to appreciate each other in a lovely setting. With a city center as one of the largest surviving medieval old towns in Northern Europe there is plenty to see and various architectural styles—gothic, renaissance, baroque and neoclassical—stand side by side and complement each other in this UNESCOworld heritage site.

Robin Vandenabeele is a photographer based near Bruges in Belgium. Traveling extensively for work landed him with a desire to visually document all the places and moments that were frequented. There has always been a large amount of experimentation in his photography, for example by using outdated films, cross-processing and film pushing during development, using creative viewpoints and lenses when composing images. After seeing results from a experimental in-camera double exposure technique he became quickly interested in the further possibilities and has since not stopped to create series of juxtaposing city- and landscapes using both film and digital cameras on various locations visited around the world.

Being an autodidact in photography allows Robin to use a non-traditional approach to the image making process. His influences are photographers with diverse styles such as Sarah Moon, Mario Giacomelli, Man Ray, Henri Lartigue, Peter Beard, Franco Fontana, Jan Saudek and others.

Robin has work on display aboard several cruise ships and in boutique hotels all over the world. In 2018 he participated in the Photo Fringe festival in Trieste.From 2010-2018 several nominations (black&White spider awards, Int'l color Awards) in various categories. His work is also used on a multitude of bookcovers.
